This has all the hallmarks of a "gethomeitis" disaster, where the urge to push on overrides better judgment about going around and doing things properly.

I found each of 2000, XP, and 7 to be excellent in its own unique way. I'd be happy with any of them. But it also felt exciting to upgrade. It's all been downhill from there as far as UX goes.

Hah, my dad made something like this for me when I was a kid using a weed eater engine, with a makeshift lever as a clutch to engage/disengage it. This looks about as makeshift, I wouldn't trust it for serious use.

There's something deeply satisfying about compiling a Win32 desktop application and knowing that single binary will run unmodified on essentially every Windows machine from XP onward, and look nearly identical doing it. High-DPI is the

stunnel is often easier to embed directly into client applications, whereas WireGuard is better suited as a system-level VPN.

That's a fair criticism which I'm surprised the parent didn't point out.

I reckon hackers get a thrill out of doing the inputs themselves. They seem to be able to disregard the fact they've got an unfair advantage, pretending that they are still achieving something by their acts. Where vision based AI will

Do you have any evidence of this, or is it an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory which should be afforded no weight?

There was a federal civil rights investigation into the officer's conduct. There was also an unsuccessful attempt to indict him before a grand jury. The shooting was reported on the front page of the New York Times on Aug. 12 2014. I d

Apple could have implemented this a long time ago but decided not to implement Bluetooth file sharing.

The United States frequently asserts extraterritorial jurisdiction. They were chasing Assange even when he hadn't stepped foot in their country.

A neighbourhood bully could do far worse things to a cat that involves little to no technology. One of many reasons why my cat stays inside.

You're describing hypocrisy.

I'm not sure that's irony. Just an plain error on my part, which you're right to point out. Piracy is also a pejorative label for copyright infringement.

"Stealing" isn't an apt term here. Stealing a thing permanently deprives the owner of the thing. What you're describing is copyright infringement, not stealing. In this context, stealing is often used as a pejorative ter

This is great. But my concerns about Cloudflare's power remain. Today it's blocking AI crawlers, tomorrow will it be blocking all browsers that fail hardware-attestation checks?

The US has no business attempting to enforce domestic law on foreign leaders present in the country under diplomatic immunity.

I think Source Depot is a proprietary fork with a lot of Microsoft-stuff added in.

It's entirely plausible that a long-term engineer at Microsoft wouldn't have have used git. I'm sure a considerable number of software engineers don't program as a hobby.

Spot on, although I'm not sure US citizens are in a much better position.

US government domains seem a little over the place. I'm surprised by the number of courts and counties that have random .org and .com domains. In Australia, it follows a pretty strict structure: Federal: entity.gov.au State: entity.wa.

It's unlikely people running applications on an operating system that stopped publishing updates over 20 years ago care very much about that.

Why would I lose access to my Fastmail account? That risk is a remote one. I have 2FA, they take backups and provide support, and they are a reliable company (at least, not a one-person operation).

by YPPH 2y ago
I think you're right. But I also do not think Purelymail falls in the same camp that Fastmail or Office 365 do, so far as expectations of reliability and business continuity are concerned. The broader question of whether it is appropri

This is such a remote possibility, at least with Fastmail, that I do not consider it reasonable to implement my own backup solution. If they are going to shut down, it isn't going to occur imminently and without any warning. It's

by YPPH 2y ago
I don't agree with you. A key reason to host your email with a reliable cloud storage provider is to have backups handled for you. Fastmail is particularly good in that respect, since it takes periodic backups for you, allowing deleted

An interesting service, and very competitively priced. But for me, my email is fairly mission-critical. It's not something I'm prepared to endow in a one-man shop. I don't mean to offend, but it looks like something that migh
